This is a really good question. The federal government could pick any one of the three policy changes I propose, but given the way federal-provincial relationships work right now, it would make most sense to intervene on the new mom and new dad benefits, because currently a lot of that happens through employment insurance. Then of course provisions would need to be taken to make sure that the advance policy decisions that Quebec has already taken don't get penalized for their early action. So that would be one place, the new mom and new dad benefits.
I think as provinces go down the road of doing more on child care and employment standards, you would need the federal government to take seriously how we improve our national child benefit supplement to make sure that, as hours are changing for some families, that doesn't compromise their after-tax income, and the national child benefit supplement is a really easy way. You could triple that and you could end poverty for kids under age six.
